NEBRASKA soLDIERs, HOME.

Hon. A.W.Agee recently introduced into the
House of Representatives. of Nebraska a bill to
provide home for disabled and dependentsol-
ders and sailors of the late war which has unu-
sual merits. 1t passed the House with but one
dissenting vote, that of Dir. Matmiller, of
Butler County, who claims to have been q
soldier. The bill provides that tract of $40
acres of land shall be secured near some
town or city, upon which shall be erected q
home for the maintenance of hOnorably dis
charged ex-soldiers and sailors, marines and
hospital nurses who served during the war
of the rebellion and received honorable dis
charge. They must have enlisted from Ne
braska or been residents of the State for two
years previous to their application for admit
lance. Also, the wives and widows of such
soldiers, sailors, marines, and hospital nurses
and their children, under 10 years of age,
are eligible for admission. A central build
ing is to be erected for the accommodation of
these, and shall be under the control of five
persons, three of whom shall be honorably
discharged soldiers of the United States, and
two members of the Woman's Relief Corps
of Nebraska. The Governor shall appoint,
with the advice and consent of this Board, o
Commandant, who shall be an ex-Union
soldier of the war of the rebellion. The
board is to be instructed to plat certain
portion of the ground into lots of two and
one-half acres each, upon which they shall
erect houses suitable for the homes of such
inmates and their families as are partially
self-sustaining, and shall supply them with
aid in gaining livelihood.
This is most admirable provision through
out, and reflects great credit upon the COM
rades of Nebraska who have devised the plan
and secured its adoption by the Legislature.

IN previous issue we mentioned the fat.
tering action Of the Posts in New York CITY
and Brooklyn in nominating our untirine
comrade, JOS, w. Kay, for Commander Of tn,
Department of New York. In another col.
umn we publish his letter Of declination. in
which he states at length his reasons These
do HIM honor, as everything connected with
has course as GAR. man does He would
make a splendid Department Commander
and we are in hopes TO soon see him holding
that high position.
The National tribune., 1887-02-24
CHAIRMAN MERRnL,s APPEAL,

Instant in season and out of season in the
service of his comrades, Gen. Geo. S. Merrill,
Chairman of the National Pension Commit
tee of the GAR, meets the veto emergency
with a ringing appeal to the comrades to
make themselves heard in support of the
bill.
This is now a pressing duty upon all COM
rades who are animated by telling of Fra
ternity and Charity. If they want their dis
abled comrades rescued from the poorhouses,
if they want the burden of supporting the
disabled and dependent veterans lifted from
the GAR. Posts, and from the township
and municipal treasures, let them do at once
as Comrade Merrill suggests Write to their
Congressman urging the passage of the bill
over the Presidents Veto Let them also
express themselves in the newspapers of
their locality, that the public may under
stand the justice of the measure and that it
is earnestly desired by the soldiers every
where.
This latter is especially necessary. The
soldier-hating papers everywhere are so
poisoning the public mind with falsehoods
in regard to the bill and its operation that
it is very important that soldiers speak up
at once in defense of it and tell the public
the truth.
Nop is The time TO do IL.
Everybody turn out and open a volley
that will silence this sputtering fire of mis-
representation and yillifeatiOn.

NEW HA,IPsHIRE,s DEPENDENT LAW

COmrade E. Il. Hurst, of Enfield, n. H.,
sends us copy of the law passed by the
Legislature of New Hampshire for the relief
of the destitute veterans of that State. 1t
reads as follows:
An act for the relief of poor persons who have
served in the army navy of the United States,
and their dependent families.
SEC l. Whenever any person resident of this
state, not under guardianship legal restraint,
who has been honorahIy discharged from the army
or navy Of the United states shall from any cause
become poor and unable to provide maintenance
for himself and dependent family, such person, his
wife. widow, or minor children, such of said
children unable to maintain themselves shall
be supported ut the public expense in the town or
city Of their abode, at their home, or such place
other than n town or County almshouse as the
Selectmen OF Overseer of the poor may think right
and proper in said town or city.
SEC 2 The necessary expense of such maintains
anee shall be paid by the town or County, liable
under existing laws for the support of such soldier
or sailor.
Here we see the principle of the dependent
soldiers bill fully recognized, and most hon
orally. New Hampshire does not limit her
justice to those who served in her own regi-
ments, but is moved by more just and
generous spirit. She supports every ex-sol-
dier or sailor who now needs support, with
out reference to what State he went out from
She took upon herself, in the most praise
worthy manner, a duty that did not right
fully fall on her shoulders, but upon the
broader ones of the Nation whom these
broken-down men had helped save at the
expense of their own health and strength.

THE Knights OF Labor In the Mime
apolls Convention did . wise action In

Mr.. Powderly again showed his good
sense by his strong speech against the
Anarchists, and hts declaration that the
purposes OF the Knights OF Labor are
wholly different TO those advocated by
such men. The very emphatic vote Of
15l against the resolution to 52 for II,
shows that only about one fourth OF the
delegates are in favor Of even oommu-
Sing the punishment Of these men. The
Knights have commended themselves
90 the American public by this wise
action, and we believe that they fully
express the sentiments Of the mechanics
and workingmen OF this country. While
She toilers want and should have o fair

have no desire to enforce those Just
claims by khro wing bombs and slAugh-
toring innocent men. Anar ,hism has
